The UO's new hub for academic and career advising, and home to the College of Arts and Sciences, University Career Center, and Division of Equity and Inclusion.
Welcome to a place for student success
Located in the heart of campus, Tykeson Hall is the home to the UO's new approach to academic and career advising. The building not only provides advising services for students in the College of Arts and Sciences and Exploring students, but gives all students a place to develop a plan for success at UO and beyond. Throughout the building, students can meet with academic and career advisors to plan course schedules, build their resumes, and much more.
Knowing their passion for supporting students and liberal arts education, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, W. Andrew Marcus invited Willie and Donald to donate the lead gift for the building that now bears their names.

Student success is more than a student earning a degree. It involves developing and acting upon a deep understanding of how life experiences, strengths, interests, and values shape academic and career goals.

Intentional to the "T"
More than just walls, windows, and stairs, Tykeson Hall brings the vision of a liberal arts education to life through design. From the paint colors on each floor to where classrooms are placed throughout the building, each part was intentionally designed to give students a place to imagine, define, prepare, and achieve success in their studies and careers. Whether they've just stepped foot on campus or are planning for life after graduation, Tykeson Hall has a space for every student.
